@godzilla44: Because?
@symbioticspider-man: Bush destroyed our relationship with other countries by invading Iraq. I forgot the guy who said this, but he said: "After 9/11, the United States had the love and affection of every nation on the planet and everyone was pro-America(Even Iran, though Fox News will tell you otherwise). Then Bush wasted it by invading Iraq unjustly and we became hated by almost every country instantly.
The only Governments that liked Bush as President were Putin(Bush let Putin get away with things because Putin is clearly smarter than Bush and could just talk circles around him while Obama doesn't balk), Israel (Bush never questioned anything Netenyahu dI'd while Obama acknowledges the Israeli government has a role to play in the ongoing Conflicts in the Middle East), and Saudi Arabia since the United States is enemies with Iran and Bush wanted to fight them.
In fact, Bush is the direct cause of Europeans increasing their defense spending in the 2000: they all thought he was nuts and might invade them.
Bush was not more liked than Obama internationally.
@legacy6364: Bush sent military men and women to a country that did nothing to us to die for people who don't like us, but Bush is pro-military? Pro-the use of force, sure but pro-military? No American president has ever suggested a cut of military spending, not even Obama.
I don't know where you get your facts, but I need to see them.
@laflux: Because of their political parties: Bush is a Republican who could easily muster as many Republican congressmen that he needed while the Democrats are always willing to provide humanitarian support.
Obama is a Democrat, and a black one who Republicans always say is anti-American and is Kenyan: if Obama suggested humanitarian aide to Africa Fox News would have a field day.
Plus, Bush's actions in Africa actually raised the amount of AIDs in Africa since Bush banned funding to any country in Africa that taught safe sex instead of abstinence sex-Ed.
